The criticism is entirely valid.
This is just a policy, so for now all they've done is announce it and write it down. They could have just as easily made up something more reasonable, like interns can't work more than 60 hours a week.
17 hours a day is up to 119 hours a week, which is clearly exploiting them. The fact that it's (apparently) an improvement is a little scary, and the banks should be embarrassed and called out on it.
- kevinpet 11y agoInterns working only 60 hours a week is much harder to monitor. A policy that says they can't be in the office between midnight and 7am is simple to monitor. The press has implied or allowed readers to conclude that interns were previous working more than 17 hours a day, which is nice for the author because you don't need to support an implication and you can't be called out for being incorrect in something you never say.
